FAR 17.504 Reporting requirements.
The codified text (eCFR, as of 2026-10-02). Under the Revolutionary FAR Overhaul ↗, agencies follow class deviations with new text for many parts while the formal rules go through the Federal Register: check the solicitation and your contract's clauses, which rule.
In plain English
This section sets out reporting duties for interagency acquisitions. Agency senior procurement executives must send OMB an annual report, and contracting officers at the servicing agency must make sure service contractor reporting under subpart 4.17 is completed. It matters to contractors because the servicing agency's contracting officer is responsible for the service contract inventory reporting tied to their contracts.
Applies to: Senior procurement executives of executive agencies and contracting officers at servicing agencies for interagency acquisitions
What it requires
- Senior procurement executives must submit an annual report on interagency acquisitions to the Director of OMB as directed by OMB.
- The servicing agency contracting officer must ensure service contractor reporting requirements are met under subpart 4.17, Service Contracts Inventory.
